Jim Stephens

My wife, Priscilla, and I enjoy the ministry at Lakeside. My role on the Pastoral Staff is ministering to our young couples, visitation and outreach, and involvement in the music program.

I am a native South Carolinian and Priscilla grew up in a missionary family in Bolivia, South America. We met while students at Tennessee Temple University and were married in 1972. Our degrees are in education. We have three children, all graduates of Christian Colleges and serving the Lord. We have “no greater joy than to hear that our children walk in truth”. I believe that the measure of a man is his family.

I had the distinct privilege of serving our country in the US Army as a paratrooper in the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions during the Vietnam War. I am grateful for our great country and pray that she will return to the principles that made her great.

For the past 32 years I have been involved in the ministry serving in Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Before joining the staff at Lakeside I was the director of a camp for “at-risk” teens. We were able to reach many for Christ.

Our mission continues to be Jude 22 . . . “making a difference” in the lives of people.
